Everything clicks as Potgieter, Roy shoot record 62 in Detroit

WASHINGTON - Aldrich Potgieter and Kevin Roy fired course-record 62s at Detroit Golf Club on June 26 to share the first-round lead in the PGA Tour's Rocket Classic.

Roy, a 35-year-old American chasing a first PGA Tour title, followed his eagle at the 17th with his eighth birdie of the day to be the first in the clubhouse on 10 under.

Less than 10 minutes later, South Africa's Potgieter put the finishing touches on a round that also included an eagle and eight birdies.

Potgieter and Roy both broke the previous course record of 63 - matched on June 26 by Australian Min Woo Lee and Americans Max Greyserman and Mark Hubbard.
